Hi Jude,

I had this for over a wlk and it drove me up the walls,I had nerve pain rite threw my body and an itch with sentive skin.I never got a propper sleep for over a wlk and i was excusted.

I went and got an antihistmeen(sorry for the spelling) and the doctor give me a cream they use for chickenpox....it did settle down after a day or so but personaly the tablets worked for me...

Hope you get some ease i no wat your going threw..

Soft hugs..

Sarah

Hi Jude, i am sure we can all relate to the symptoms you describe, it can be really awful can't it. I would suggest that you go back to your GP and describe your symptoms, your meds might need changing. There are medications out there to help to relieve the symptoms you describe. I mentioned on another thread that my consultant prescribed me Methocarbamol for the symptoms you describe, this medication helps with the irritation feeling along with the muscle pains and restless legs you might have. It might be worth mentioning this medication to your GP to see if he/she thinks it might be suitable for you. I hope you get some comfort soon Jude. :)
